Affiliate Marketing: Making Money Online
Affiliate is a system of revenue sharing between one site (affiliate merchant) which features an ad or content designed to drive traffic to another site (advertiser). The affiliate will receive a fee (compensation or commission) based on the amount of traffic generated. Amazon.com is said to be the most visible pioneer in affiliate marketing. The affiliate merchants are the advertisers/merchants and the affiliates are the publishers/salespeople.
There are so many benefits of affiliate marketing: automating much of the advertising process (accepting and approving applications, generating unique sales links, tracking and reporting of results) and payment only for desired results (sales, registrations, clicks).
Paying only for performance shifts much of the advertising risk from the merchants to the affiliates, although merchants still assume some risk of fraud from partner sites.
Many leading online companies have been successful because of affiliate programs. It is not unusual to see industries where the major players have affiliate programs -- often structured in a similar manner and making similar competitive changes over time.
Successful affiliate programs require a lot of maintenance and work. The number of affiliate programs just a few years back was much smaller than it is today. Having an affiliate program that is successful is not as easy anymore. The days when programs could generate considerable revenue for the merchant even if they were poorly managed are over. Todays managers need to be very much involved in the program or face early termination of their program.
The benefits for the affiliate are:
No need to own, ship, refunds etc, products or services.
Affiliates will be provided with marketing tools and will benefit from services that would otherwise cost too much to afford.
Affiliates will be able to learn a lot and use what they learn to further advance their career in the company.
